I am once again woefully behind in my thank yous, so what better time to catch up than mid-snowstorm with my jelly donut sugar-high. :)

u/almostagypsy - thank you for the homemade postcard. Your color-blending skills are impressive! I can't wait to see some of your other drawings!

u/babyraspberry - Thank you for the multi-part holiday card. But GURL, now is not the time to eat less junk food. That ice cream sounds perfect though. I'm a fan of HD's strawberry over everything else for some reason. I've been watching holiday movies here and there - Love Actually is my yearly must-see, but if I'm being honest I will watch it at any time of the year. Holiday Inn and White Christmas are also very comforting to me.

u/stephkempf - thank you for the sweet card. I've celebrated Hanukkah my whole life, but have started putting up a tree in the last few years.

u/jennnnnnnnifer - Thank you for the card! No apology needed for your typed note! As soon as I opened your card, I was like this is brilliant! (I also overcommitted myself as far as card sending). You reminded me that I used to print notes in 'handwriting' font at one of my old jobs and I might very well just pick that back up.

u/hummingblurp - this postcard was EVERYTHING, so thank you.. I wonder if it made the mail person laugh. Pretty sure I also wore those sunglasses in the 90s and thought they were hot shit.

u/2880poe - thank you for the polar bear card. Mail has definitely made this year brighter for me and I'm glad to have this community to share the full-time festiveness with.

u/skylineprophets - thank you for the cat card and cutie stickers!

RAOC Holiday Secret Card Exchange:

u/pumpkin107 - Thank you for the custom card! I'm planning on the same white Christmas as you are! ;) So far there's already been eggnog and lambic beer. I imagine there will be cocktails this weekend. Cheers and thank you!

u/whatalovelyseaweed - thank you for this sweet card/care package. The tea and recipes were an especially nice touch and I am really looking forward to trying the oatmeal pie. (I'm also guessing you have a decent marker collection - I support it!)

Thank you again. Wishing you all the very happiest and healthiest of holiday seasons and an absolutely fantastic start to the new year (because we all really need it).
